Chapter 111: While Running, Frustration is the Best Fuel Part 2
Putting aside the fact that for quite a while I was running around without any waist equipment put on, it seems that quite a lot of my skills got to a high level or even underwent a change. Some others even reached a level so high that they could be changed into quite a few things. But the thing that drew my attention the most was the level ninety nine extended and the number right next to it.
I was aware of the fact that the update that went live during our fight with Wezaemon released the level cap. So I guess that “Extended” means that as of right now my own level was going to be even bigger than ninety nine, right?
No, thinking about it logically, ninety nine still means ninety nine. I can’t possibly imagine that a single Golden Scorpion would let me level up more than twenty times. So the larger group of crystal scorpions must have had something to do with it. But aren’t those numbers a little bit dangerous.
Thanks to being creative like that, I could earn levels in a much better way than catching some stupid fish or lobsters. Damn, if I’d checked that before leaving Rabbitz, I could have gone to the Gardener and done something with all those skills. But I mean, if I don’t open that level cap and go past ninety nine, I won’t be able to level up anymore or do anything else, right?
This means that Sanraku had to beat yet another adversity before he could reach completely new heights. Once I get this business done, let’s do just that.
「DISTURBANCE!」
I have no time to deal with small fries like that. And so I decided to ignore the iron golem that flashed right next to me at the edge of the status menu screen. …… It was a golem, right? I’m not so sure, that’s why I’m asking.
It will take some time to comprehend all the changes and organize my skills again, but now that I have achieved level ninety nine, reaching Fiftsia shouldn’t be all that hard.
It was also a great help to know that this dungeon’s layout was like a tunnel. If I started at one end of it, the only thing I needed to do now was to dash straight ahead towards the other end, without any sidetracking alongside the way.
According to what I heard, there are two major roads that lead towards Fiftsia. One of them, the shorter but harder one, is called “Route Five” and leads from Fourthia. The other, longer but safer road leads from Fourthia to Sixthia and is called “Route Six”. And even though it is safer, wasting time is something I absolutely couldn’t allow myself to do right now.
I continue to dash through the dungeon while managing my stamina bar, putting together a plan while I was at it.
First of all, the important problem that has suddenly surfaced out of nowhere. For the sake of my own convenience, the “Akitsu Akane problem” shall be postponed until I deal with a matter at hand. Besides, since I have no idea when the guy might show up, the only thing I could do was to wait for Emul’s report.
Next, my journey towards Fifthsia…… let’s call it “Fifthsia’s RTA” for convenience’s sake. I am going to burst through this dungeon on my own, and then be joined by that person somewhere alongside the way, and we shall reach our goal together.
